Chapter 1881
The captain of the security detail motioned for his men to step forward and scan the newcomers for any
dangerous items, but not a single one dared to move an inch.
After all, standing before them was the infamous Sheen – the man whose reputation preceded him!
Who would have the gall to frisk him?
Arabella could tell that this crew was intimidated by Sean. Horace had mentioned before that in this
land, Sean was a force to be reckoned with—a big shot whose nod was essential for anything to
happen in both the legit and underground scenes.
It seemed the rumors were true.
"Are we doing this or what?" Sean's tone was laced with impatience as he took a step forward, causing
the dozen security guards to collectively step back in fear.
Sean was speechless.
He was just following his sister's advice to let them do their check, but these people were a bunch of
cowards.
Though the security captain didn't step back, he too held a deep respect for Sean, knowing full well not
to cross a man so influential that even their employer's kin wouldn't dare offend him.
"Mr. Sheen, I had no idea you'd be delivering the clothes yourself, but we have our protocols here."
"So, you gonna scan me or what?" Sean snapped, "Or should I do it myself?"
The captain quickly bowed and said, "My apologies," before whipping out a scanner and running it over
Sean with the speed of light.
"Damn, from that distance? If you're gonna scan, do it right! What kind of half-assed check is that?"
The captain's mental defenses were faltering under Sean's demanding presence – truly as formidable
as the rumors suggested.
But he couldn't bring himself to get too close to the man.
Although he moved his scanner a bit closer, he leaned backward, symbolically running it over Sean a
few more times.
"Are we done here?"
"Ye-yes, that'll do."
As he moved to scan Sean's sister, Sean barked, "Keep away from my sister!"
The designer’s his sister? Really?
Should he scan her, then?
"It's okay, go ahead," Arabella reassured, and the captain quickly scanned her, then moved on to the
drivers behind her.
These drivers hardly seemed like your average chauffeurs – they all had a certain air about them that
screamed 'do not mess with'.
Sean was probably just escorting his sister today, but who knew if he had other business?
"Can we go in now?" Sean had always despised their tedious procedures. In the past, when he visited
other members, he'd just stride in with no checks, but being scanned like this was a first for him.
"This way, please," the chief indicated for them to take a side door on the left.
"My sister has to use the side door?"
"Except for the castle's owner, all personnel must use the side door."
Sean looked rather exasperated – he'd always used the main entrance when visiting other members.
"Mr. Sheen, I didn't expect you to come today. If you could just wait, I'll check if we can make an
exception for you."
"No need, the side door is fine."
Arabella's words allowed the captain to breathe a sigh of relief, "Right this way, please."
